Hello! In my online stamping group, we do several “fests” each year where we have challenges. It is always a very creative time, and I plan to share some of the cards I create here on my blog too.
One of the challenges was to use this ingenious Stenciling technique by my stamping friend Beth. She did a nice tutorial here on How to Add Depth to your Stencils.
I used an older Plaid stencil and used 3 Distress Oxide colors and tried to blend them as best I could. I added black pen marks and tried to be consistent as to where the light source would be, although I know I need to work on that.
I simply finished off the card with this cute stamp, colored with markers, and adding some glitter glue Nuvo drops accents to the bouquet.
I like that I could use this card for Valentines, Birthdays or even a Get well.
I would love to enter Penny Black’s Saturday Challenge - Anything Goes/Optional Love is in the Air challenge, SimonSaysStamp’s Monday Challenge Floral Frenzy.
Supplies: Penny Black Good Day Stamp set, Plaid Stencil, Distress Oxide inks Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, other items from my stash.
Here is the background alone, and the other one I made (a little preview of a card coming up soon!)
Thank you for visiting today!

Simply adorable, Heidi! And so colorful. Had to go back and re-read about the black pen shadowing as I thought your background in the last pic was a flower die cut!!! I'd say you can shadow pretty well, lol!! xox
Fab card - love your background!
Thanks so much for playing with us at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge!
